Mats Hummels provides update on patellar tendon injury | OneFootball

Mats Hummels has confirmed that he will be with the Borussia Dortmund squad for their trip to Freiburg.

However, he did not make any promises on whether or not he would be able to feature for Saturday’s match.

Hummels has missed the first three games of the season with a patellar tendon issue and is showing optimism over his recovery.

“The plan is that I will at least be there in Freiburg. That I will fly along, regardless of my role,” Hummels told Sky.

“I haven’t trained for a very long time now. Right now, everything is working well. Every step we take is working. I’ve now also joined parts of team training.”

Thorgan Hazard, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Soumaila Coulibaly, Nnamdi Collins, and Mateu Morey will continue to miss time due to injury.

Meanwhile, the availability of Thomas Meunier, Julian Brandt, Emre Can, and Raphael Guerreiro remains in question.
